As an art history enthusiast, I undertook a personal project to animate one of my favorite works of art, Eugène Delacroix‘s Liberty Leading the People. However, I learned a valuable lesson during this project: always make sure to back up your files! Unfortunately, I accidentally overwrote the After Effects project file after a month of work, resulting in the loss of everything except for a rendering that I was able to retrieve. Despite this setback, I was able to create a video with a soundtrack that I am happy with, although it was not exactly what I had envisioned.
